Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

The two of them arrived at the palace where Xu Jiu was. Upon arriving, they saw that Xu Jiu was washing and dressing, and then she lay down on the bed.

Mo Yun and Qin Yu remained quietly atop the roof beam.

Unsure how much time had passed, in the dead of night, Qin Yu suddenly heard footsteps. Mo Yun and Qin Yu exchanged glances, and the other drew his sword. Meanwhile, Xu Jiu was fast asleep in bed.

A gentle evening breeze blew in, and both Mo Yun and Qin Yu suddenly sensed that there were people standing outside. Just as they were about to attack, several more men in black appeared unexpectedly. Qin Yu and Mo Yun remained still and stayed there silently.

"Brother, weren't there just a few of us here? Why are there these other people here?"

One of the men in black was asking the question of the leader. Upon hearing this, the leader turned his attention to the group of men in black in front of him, who were all in a state of confusion.

Logically speaking, there should only be one team here to assassinate Xu Jiu, so why is another team here now? Could it be that this team is here to protect Xu Jiu?

Both sides had this idea, so they naturally started fighting. Mo Yun and Qin Yu hadn't made a move yet, and unexpectedly, they were just watching a show. The two of them were leisurely sitting on the tiled walls of the palace.

Mo Yun was about to make a move, but Qin Yu stopped him.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle when Xu Jiu slowly woke up and saw the black figures outside. She immediately screamed, and the men in black were all shocked in that instant.

They all understood one thing: if they didn't run away quickly, they would probably be caught soon.

Because Xu Jiu has already woken up, and once he does, he will summon the Imperial Guards. Once the Imperial Guards arrive, they will track them down, and what awaits them...

At this moment, the palace maids beside Xu Jiu also arrived at Xu Jiu's location. Upon seeing the men in black outside, the palace maids immediately shouted loudly, "There are assassins! Catch them quickly!"

In a short while, many Imperial Spirit Lords and Imperial Guards had arrived, observing the surroundings and searching for the assassin they had mentioned.

Sure enough, they saw a group of men in black moving through the night. The Imperial Guards naturally began searching for them. This incident successfully alerted Qin Yanling, who rushed to Xu Jiu's palace upon learning of it. As soon as he arrived, he inquired about Xu Jiu's whereabouts with concern.

"Has Your Highness been injured?"

Xu Jiu shook her head, indicating that she was not injured, but only slightly frightened. Xu Jiu really did not expect that someone would try to assassinate her here.

"During this period, strengthen the people around Her Highness the Princess. You must protect Her Highness well. If there is a next time, I will hold you accountable. If anything happens to Her Highness the Princess, I will punish you severely."

Qin Yu was somewhat surprised. He had never imagined that two teams would be sent to assassinate Xu Jiu. More importantly, he was puzzled as to who had sent these two teams. He thought about it carefully but still couldn't figure it out.

“Your Highness, it’s already so late. Why don’t I return to your residence to rest first? We can discuss anything else tomorrow. At least this princess is safe now, isn’t she?”

In fact, Xu Jiu was also special. She wanted to know who wanted to kill her. She clearly remembered that she had not done anything wrong or offended anyone, so now someone wanted to kill her.

"I came here and haven't offended anyone, so why is someone trying to kill me now?"

Xu Jiu couldn't help but say this: tonight, Xu Jiu had a series of nightmares. The next day, Xu Jiu woke up, covered in sweat, and was deep in thought.

"Cui'er, who do you think wants to kill me? I've been here for the past few days and I don't think I've offended anyone. Why would they want to kill me, the princess?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cui'er finished speaking, she told Xu Jiu, "They went in because these people are jealous of Your Highness's beauty. It is because they are jealous of Your Highness's beauty that they want to kill you. After all, you are as beautiful as a fairy. Which woman in this world can compare to you?"

Xu Jiu burst out laughing and immediately told Cui'er, "Have you forgotten the Princess? The Princess is a true beauty, and no one can match her beauty."

This matter had naturally become known to the officials in the court, who then mentioned it to Qin Yanling during court sessions. "Your Majesty, we heard that the princess of the neighboring country encountered an assassin last night. How is she now?"

Upon hearing what the officials said, Qin Yanling informed them that the princess from the neighboring country was safe and sound, but had been somewhat frightened and was now resting.

"For no reason, this princess was attacked by assassins. If anything were to happen to her, the emperor of the neighboring country would surely..."

Qin Yanling heard them talking all at once and felt annoyed, so she simply snapped, "Quiet!"

When the Prime Minister learned that the princess was safe and sound, he was filled with mixed emotions. He had thought that the princess would be injured, but she was unharmed. More importantly, he was quite surprised that someone had tried to kill her.

Last night, the Prime Minister pondered deeply about who had sent the other group of people, thinking it over and over, but ultimately couldn't come up with an answer.

At this moment, Qin Yu pretended that she had just learned about this matter. She immediately dressed up in the princess's residence, put on her court clothes, and went to the court.

"I heard that Her Highness the Princess was attacked by assassins. I wonder how the princess from the neighboring country is doing?"

Qin Yu arrived at the imperial court and questioned the officials and Qin Yanling here.

The officials were genuinely surprised that Qin Yu had come here.

"Your Highness is very well-informed. I didn't expect you to know about Princess Xu Jiu's assassination so quickly."
